About

Engineer shaped by industrial automation and robotics research.

My path spans industrial automation and research-led robotics. After starting in SCADA-based power distribution automation, I moved into cyber-physical systems research at NITK, where I helped build a lab-scale ACPS platform using STM32/ESP32 sensor-actuator nodes and edge-fog-cloud architecture. At IISc, I worked on multimodal autonomous mobile robots for constrained inspection, contributing across mechanical design, embedded control, and ROS2-based autonomy. I now apply that foundation to embedded product software at CAPLA, and I remain focused on building robust robotics for agriculture, sustainability, and other high-impact domains.
